Hey everyone, I'm JJ Stankovitz and welcome into another edition of the Undercenter podcast, brought to you by St. Xavier University.

On this mailbag episode, I'm joined by Cam Ellis and our guide Jason Gough to answer your questions about the Chicago Bears.

We get real deep into the issues plaguing this franchise, and let me tell you, this is a

really fun episode having Jason Gough on.

All that and more on the Undercenter podcast, starting right now.

What does it mean to be a Chicago Bear?

It means rich tradition, black and blue division, defense.

I think it's the one franchise that when you think about them, being a defensive player myself, I think that's the first thing you go to.

Legends, linebackers, defensive linemen, dominant players.

The history of it. I mean, I'm a big history guy, so understanding this was one of the first franchises, just kind of blows my mind, honestly, I was able to be a part of it. I mean, I'm a big history guy, so understanding this was one of the first

I mean, what more can you say?

Like, this season is so much more enjoyable to cover than last season. Last season was that just eight and eight.

Like you have to hold on to the pretense of them making the playoffs.

When they were five and one, I was on here trashing them being like, this isn't a good team.

Just wait until they're eight and eight again and we're doing this.

We're having the same thing in a month.

It's the same cycle. That's's why and you know what's crazy i went back and looked at some of those

tweets because i'm like all right let me make sure i'm not getting fired today but i went back and

looked at them and when i said the thing about um when i tweeted about what was it uh uh like mediocrity

and how it's accepted in this town?

Oh, dude, it, like, people went crazy.
